Director Jason Reitman discusses his new film, Saturday Night, with fellow Director Guillermo del Toro in a Q&A at the DGA theater in Los Angeles. In the conversation, he discusses originally conceptualizing the film as a one-take to play out in real time, recording the score live on set with the film's Actor and Composer Jon Batiste, and casting his Actors for how well they understood their characters' deeper interests over their recreations of sketch work. Seen through the eyes of a young Lorne Michaels as he juggles equipment failures, actor fights and producers pushing for reruns, the film follows Lorne and his troupe of trailblazers behind the scenes leading up to the landmark show's first airing.

The 60-year-old star had sat out both the Golden Globes and the Critics Choice Awards this season, so many of his fellow nominees were encountering him for the first time. Before long, the ballroom had turned into a massive meet-and-greet. 他是湯姆克魯斯，入圍今年最佳影片的熱門大片「捍衛戰士：獨行俠」製片人之一。他是最先踏入比佛利希爾頓會場的幾位名人之一。這名60歲巨星缺席了本季的金球獎及美國影評人獎，很多一起入圍的人是首次見到他。午宴不久後就變成一場大型見面會。 “I love you, I love you, oh, my God!” said “Everything Everywhere All at Once” star Ke Huy Quan, who hopped in place, exclaiming, “I want a picture with this man!” before seizing a selfie with Cruise. Director Guillermo del Toro went over for an embrace, as did nominated actors Brendan Fraser, Angela Bassett and Michelle Williams. Cruise even posed for pictures with Steven Spielberg, a once-frequent collaborator whom the star has not been publicly photographed with in over a decade. 「我愛你，我愛你，喔我的天！」「媽的多重宇宙」演員關繼威興奮得跳不停，大喊「我要跟這男人合照」然後與湯姆克魯斯自拍。導演吉勒摩戴托羅跑去跟湯姆克魯斯擁抱，入圍演員獎項的布蘭登費雪、安琪拉貝瑟、蜜雪兒威廉絲也一樣。湯姆克魯斯甚至與過去常合作、但已逾十年未公開同框的導演史蒂芬史匹柏合影。 The nominees luncheon is supposed to be an egalitarian affair where big stars and behind-the-scenes technicians are on equal footing, but there was no mistaking Cruise as the ballroom's top dog: He had the gravitational pull of the sun and its burnt-orange countenance, too. 奧斯卡入圍午宴本該是一場幕前明星與幕後技術人員以平等身分相見的聚會，但湯姆克魯斯無疑是宴會廳裡的頭號人物：他自帶太陽般的引力，也擁有如烈日煥發的焦橙臉龐。 Still, simply making it to Cruise took some time: In the schmoozy hour before lunch was served, he was so mobbed by his fellow nominees that he was hardly able to move more than a few feet. I watched for a while as “Elvis” star Austin Butler drifted with slow, inexorable determination toward Cruise, who finally pulled the younger man toward him by clamping a hand on his shoulder like a stapler. For several minutes, they were locked in such a tight bro-embrace that it was impossible to discern what they were talking about. 單單要接近湯姆克魯斯就得花上不少時間：在用餐前的交流時間，入圍者們將他團團圍住，他幾乎無法移動幾步。我看著飾演「貓王」的明星奧斯汀巴特勒緩慢卻堅定地朝他一步步走去，而湯姆克魯斯最終伸出手，像支釘書機一樣一把按在這年輕人的臂膀上，將他拉向自己。有好幾分鐘時間，他們像兄弟一般緊緊擁抱，兩人到底說了些什麼，其他人根本不可能得知。 So instead, I made my way to “Top Gun: Maverick” producer Jerry Bruckheimer, who observed the scene serenely just a few feet away. “It's my first time at the luncheon,” said the newly nominated producer, who's better known for making explosive action movies than Oscar fare. “After 50 years in the business, I finally get here.” 我見狀後移動到「捍衛戰士：獨行俠」另一製片傑瑞布洛克海默身邊，他在幾英尺外平靜的看著這一幕。「這是我第一次參加奧斯卡午宴」，這位剛入圍的製片主要以激烈的動作片聞名，而非奧斯卡電影，「在這一行打滾五十年後，我終於來到這兒了」。Source article: https://udn.com/news/story/6904/7008044 Powered by Firstory Hosting

Director Guillermo del Toro discusses his new film, Nightmare Alley, with fellow director Tim Blake Nelson in a Q&A at the DGA theater in New York. Set in 1940s New York, the film weaves the tale of a down-on-his-luck hustler who teams up with a clairvoyant and her mentalist husband to scam the wealthy. Please note: spoilers are included.

Cinematographer Dan Laustsen's latest movie with director Guillermo del Toro is the film noir psychological thriller, Nightmare Alley. Unlike many of del Toro's previous films, Nightmare Alley features no monsters or creatures, exploring instead the drama of the monsters within humans. Dan and del Toro had extensive prep and discussion about how to tell the story in a classic film noir way, except with lush vibrant colors instead of in black and white. Part of the movie takes place in the carnival world, so del Toro and Dan had extensive discussions about the color palette. Del Toro had a very precise idea of what colors he wanted and he uses very little color correction in post. Dan decided to paint with light, and draw attention to the beautiful sets as much as possible. The movie was shot mainly at night and indoors so they were able to carefully control the lighting. They chose to light using mainly a single source, and lit the character of Lilith Ritter, played by Cate Blanchett, like a classic movie star. Her lighting was important to the storytelling so the audience sees her as a powerful force in the film. In fact, the lights would also move on a dolly track with Blanchett, or Dan would use a small 1K as a follow spot. For the camerawork, Dan and del Toro wanted all of the shots in Nightmare Alley to be on the move-everything is shot either on a dolly, with a Steadicam or from a crane. Del Toro & Dan first began working together on Mimic, and they found what Dan considers a similar European sensibility of lighting with a single source, keeping things very dark and having the courage to not show everything. The two didn't work together again until Crimson Peak but del Toro and Dan have a great rapport, and Dan found that they could pick right back up again.

Episode 50: Award-winning Filmmaker, Pablo Absento, has gained global recognition for her horror short films at multiple festivals all around the world; also getting the attention of Academy Award-winning Director Guillermo del Toro ("Master of Horror"), who generously retweeted one of her works.

In light of last weekend's Oscars award ceremony we take a look back at last year's Best Picture winner, comparing and contrasting how the Academy did so well with who they chose to nominate and represent in 2018 versus their lackluster and controversial selection this year. Though The Shape of Water may not have been our personal choice for the best film of 2017 it certainly would have been in the running. Director Guillermo del Toro imbues his films with a fairytale sense of awe and wonder that lift them to an almost mythic level. His films also manage to preserve a sense of social commentary, weighing in on political concerns both of the film's setting in the 1960s and those of today, weighing in on such issues as the oppression of social minorities and the attempts at silencing women during a time where a rise in the support of feminism is most critical. The Shape of Water is poetic film that blends fantasy and romance into a grand artistic vision that leave you thinking more than just "Sally Hawkins sure is thirsty for some fish sticks, huh?"

Director Guillermo del Toro was way off his mark with Pacific Rim, a moderate hit in the U.S. but a monster hit throughout Asia. So, like it or not, we’re now stuck with Pacific Rim Uprising, an earthlings-vs.-monster/robots sequel produced by del Toro but directed by Steven S. DeKnight (Netflix’s Daredevil).

The Shape of Water (2017) R | 2h 3min | Adventure, Drama, Fantasy | 8 December 2017 (Canada) In a 1960s research facility, Elisa, a mute janitor, forms a relationship with a mysterious aquatic creature. Director: Guillermo del Toro Writers: Guillermo del Toro (screenplay by), Vanessa Taylor (screenplay by) Stars: Sally Hawkins, Octavia Spencer, Michael Shannon Our predictions for Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle based solely off of the trailers Joe's Take- This is what happens when you neglect your old board games; they mutate into a 90's style videogame system and wait for some poor teenagers on detention, to go all Guns N' Roses while welcoming them to the jungle. A nerd, a basic nobody, a jock, and a spoiled valley girl, are all transformed into their complete opposites to hilarious consequences. Forget all of the perils that come with a Jumanji based game like Rhinos and giant snakes, because these primadonnas have bigger problems to deal with like pollen, wet backpacks, middle-aged weight problems, and above all else, pound cake. Will three lives each be enough to make it through to the end? Will there be upgrades? And will The Rock do another one of his patented titty dances that we all love to stare at? My Prediction- No Robin Williams (Jumanji), no Dax Shepard (Zathura), and a stupid title? Should we be worried? The Rock (The Rundown), Jack Black (Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny) Kevin Hart (Get Hard), and that angry cyborg chick from Guardians of the Galaxy (Karen Gillan), make it seem like a a good idea, yet we've seen disastrous ensemble comedies before. I don't have a bunch of faith in this, but that pound cake scene and good word of mouth have me looking forward to this one. Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle will not be a Piece Of Shit, I think. Mike's Take - When it comes to sequels, anything that uses a cool song title for the name of a movie usually means that it's going to be terrible. Taking the concept of the original movie Jumanji, where the board game threw different challenges at the characters and they had to play the game until it was finished. that was the great part of the movie. The characters had to drag the board game with them wherever they went. Now, the studios want to put all new characters into a "video" game version of the board game. While there seems to be some cool scenes, especially the Kevin Hart scene where one of his weaknesses is cake and he eats cake and explodes. That was funny. Aside from the title, this movie actually looks pretty funny. I liken it to what I call a "popcorn movie". You go to see this type of film to just forget about the day or the week and have some popcorn and enjoy the moment. Then again, the trailer could be nothing but a sham and totally give away the best parts, but it seems that this won't be a piece of shit. I mean Rotten Tomatoes couldn't be wrong could it? NAAAAH. Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle (2017) PG-13 | 1h 59min | Action, Adventure, Comedy | 20 December 2017 (USA) Four teenagers are sucked into a magical video game, and the only way they can escape is to work together to finish the game.

In this exclusive SoundWorks Collection podcast, we talk with the sound team behind Director Guillermo del Toro's latest film, The Shape of Water. Featuring re-recording mixers Christian Cooke and Brad Zoern, supervising sound editors Nelson Ferreira and Nathan Robitaille. Elisa is a mute, isolated woman who works as a cleaning lady in a hidden, high-security government laboratory in 1962 Baltimore. Her life changes forever when she discovers the lab's classified secret -- a mysterious, scaled creature from South America that lives in a water tank. As Elisa develops a unique bond with her new friend, she soon learns that its fate and very survival lies in the hands of a hostile government agent and a marine biologist.

Popcorn Talk Network proudly presents “Horror Movie News,” a show giving out the latest news on Horror movies as well as exclusive interviews, bloody fun segments and movie reviews. "The Horror genre never dies. It just keeps getting reinvented and it always will. Horror is a universal language; we're all afraid. We're born afraid, we're all afraid of things: death, disfigurement, loss of a loved one. Everything that I'm afraid of, you're afraid of and vice versa.
